What’s new in DZS Parallaxer 3.14

What it does
Flat pages can make it hard to separate one section from the next, and hand-coding parallax backgrounds takes time and front-end skill. This plugin handles that work for you. It uses CSS3 definitions for its animations and outputs valid HTML markup that stays visible to search engines, so your content is not hidden behind the effect. You can apply parallax to images, testimonials or other parts of a page.
Sections are created through a shortcode generator, so you can set up and customize a parallax block without writing code, then place the shortcode where you want it. If you build pages with Visual Composer, you can add and control the effects from inside that page builder. The layouts are responsive and tuned for touch devices such as iPhone, iPad and Android phones, and they are retina ready for high-density screens. The styling is written in SASS, which helps developers who want to adjust it.
Best for
- Portfolio and creative sites with large background images
- Business sites that want depth on landing sections
- Developers building pages with Visual Composer
